Looking for journogeeks

Life is change, and we've had some great people change their lives by leaving Morris DigitalWorks to take on new challenges in the Web consulting and development world. We're sad to see them go, but excited when they wind up working on cool projects like Whitehouse.gov.

So we're looking to grow a new crop of wizards, and in the mix we're going to be recruiting some journogeeks.

A journogeek is someone who loves Web technology, is a creative problem-solver, and has an aptitude for growth but also brings a commitment to our journalistic mission.

We've made a commitment to change how we work. We're placing Web tools in the hands of every journalist at every one of our newspapers. These tools need to be made better, and that requires close collaboration among journalists and developers, and iterative development.

We've made a commitment to the principles of Open Source as well, not only using it but contributing significantly to the Drupal development community.

If this sounds interesting, feel free to contact me and I'll make sure you're notified of each position as it comes available. Right now we're looking for a senior designer. Upcoming shortly we anticipate several developer positions that might range from intern up to grand wizard. Bring your own hat.

After earning a B.A. in English, I have spent most of the last twelve years in the newspaper industry. I was "contributing editor" for a weekly newspaper, where I wrote stories, shot photographs, laid out pages, did proofreading and editing, scanned and retouched images, and created maps (in Illustrator) for real estate stories. I worked in the composing department of a daily newspaper for several years, creating daily classified pages, a weekly entertainment paper, and handling layout, design, and revisions on lots and lots of ads. Now I'm back at that same daily newspaper, where the plan is to replace their old website with a new one I'm currently designing/building in ProsePoint.
I've also been a freelance computer workshop trainer since 2005, teaching one- and two-day workshops (in person or online with WebEx) in HTML/CSS, Dreamweaver, Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, and QuarkXPress.
I'd like to be kept informed about future job openings. Thanks!

I'm a grad student at Arizona State's Cronkite School and have been a Web geek since I was 13. I spent two years as multimedia editor of my college paper and have recently done some Web production for my cohort. I'm looking for a summer internship currently. I'd also be interested in job openings as they come up since I'm graduating in about a year. You can see more of my work on my Web site.
